And New Zealand made Minnie Cooper Mary Janes.
And my velvet Laura Ashley slippers that are literally falling apart but the glue is holding, so far.

I love my Sheep by the Sea wool slippers. They are so cozy but have held up quite well. I got mine in Ireland but they can be found in various online shops.
If you really want to go sturdy, I’d rec a lined Crocs slide.

Ahhh, it’s been a while since a clothing ask has scratched that itch in the back of my head. I think the Vinny’s take on a Mary Jane is 10/10. The black leather (brown looks nice too) + the chunky sole is an easy win. I can’t wait to wear these around with shorts and pink socks peeking through the opening.
They also do an incredible Fisherman sandal. I know these might not be for everyone but I’ve seen countless fits with these, including recent PI.FYI guest Aaron Levine, aka the menswear god himself.
For the girls, y’all have cool choices that the boys don’t get to have 😔 Look at these Mary Jane’s from Solovair in a gorgeous olive leather. Look at this Fisherman / Mary Jane hybrid from G. H. Bass. And the Sebago Angelina’s that broke the internet seem to be going on sale on some sites.
It’s a weird shoe summer™️ and I’m here for it.

I don't drive so I walk a lot and treat shoe purchases as if I am buying vehicles. I have acknowledged this week that I now have every shoe I will need. I have tried and tested many many many kinds and brands and these are my findings
Trainers:
- For day to day, city walking etc = Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 (I have walked 15,000 steps in these and felt nothing)
- For longer distances, when you need a chunky sole, rain etc = Adidas Astir
Sandals:
- Clarks (I just got the Alda Cross sandals and wowww)
Boots:
- Vagabond (beautifully made, comfy, great styles)
- Fly London (I wore these for ten hour bartending shifts and they were super comfy)
- Skechers (mostly hideous but they have squishy sole walking boots which are peak comfort)
Heels:
- I have done a lot of research here and the way to find walkable heels is to look for the positioning of the heel. If the heel is directly under the heel of the foot that's good, if it's right at the back that's bad. It's all about the weight distribution.
- My favourite nice heels are from Aquazzura, my second favourite are from H&M.
Loafers:
- Gucci win for both heeled and flat loafers
- Marks and Spencers in second place for chunky loafers
Slip ons/clogs:
- Birkis by Birkenstock
- bonus round: I've loved every pair of sliders I've ever met

Not THE best but great. And directed by Jonathan “The Zone of Interest” Glazer.

Late news and weather on this one. A depraved little medieval tale about human behavior, society, class and faith, and all the cognitive dissonance and moral fantasy that comes with them. Loved it.
